What if you could feel art — with your ears? Our new series Auditory After Hours gives visitors a chance to engage with art in an all-new way: while listening to a bespoke experience curated by one of your favorite musicians. Come at night, wander the museum’s cavernous spaces after hours, and prepare to have eyes bedazzled, ears enthralled, and minds blown.

The LA-based experimental hip-hop trio Clipping dives into its archive to create a darkly atmospheric gallery soundtrack with material from an abandoned audiobook score for the novella The Deep (one chapter of which premiered at MASS MoCA last June at Solid Sound).

Snag a ticket fast (tickets and timeslots are limited, and our opening Auditory After Hours with Son Lux sold out), and bring your best headphones (and smartphone), to hear what they’ve cooked up. And stay tuned: there are more Auditory After Hours headed your way from Sylvan Esso, Kaki King, and many more.

What to Expect:

  • Ticket holders should bring their own smartphone or other WiFi enabled listening device and headphones in order to access the music.
  • Upon arrival, ticket holders will be provided a link via email that will allow the music to begin streaming. The music will be accessible until 9:15pm
